I respect Matt Sorger quite a lot, but I don't often post his words on this blog: I don't often discern that his words have specific Northwest application. In this one, he is not specifically addressing our region (nor is he prophesying from our region), but I hear an anointing on this word that includes those of us in the Northwest region.

As I waited upon God,
going into 2013, I received these words from the Lord. Some came in the form of
impressions, others came as visions and some came as Scriptures that God was
breathing on for this season. Prophetic words are an invitation from the Lord.
I sense the following 13 prophetic insights are to be decrees that we
aggressively pursue for 2013.

They are invitations
for us to lay hold of.

13 Prophetic Insights
and Decrees

1.Stagnant waters will be stirred in a fresh way. I saw pools of Bethesda stirring again
and a fresh healing stir being released. God wants His people to lay hold of
the divine healing anointing in a fresh way this year. I saw deep seated,
lingering disorders being healed, even down to the chromosome level. I saw
stubborn areas within the soul and flesh being healed that people have battled
with for years.

InJohn 5:2-5,9, Christ performs a healing on the Sabbath.
Jesus never did anything by chance or accident. He was very purposeful in His
intention. God is calling His people to access His healing and power froma
place of rest. The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest. It's a
spiritual position of rest. In Christ we enter into the Sabbath. We receive
because of the finished work Christ has done on the Cross. Rather than begging
God for what He has already done, we are to simply step in and receive the
finished work. A new level and substance of faith is coming into the heart to
receive the finished work. God is highlighting the spirit of faith and
understanding the finished work of Christ. Living from the Sabbath position
will be crucial in obtaining all God has for us.

2.A
prophetic ear will be given to not only hear but to also listen and comprehend.
This hearing will also occur from a position of rest in His presence. Key
Scriptures are1 Samuel 3:3,10. In a time of no widespread revelation and
where the eyes of the high priest Eli were growing dim, the light was still
burning in the temple near the ark. As Samuel rested before the ark in the presence
of God, the voice of God speaks to him. After several times of hearing but not
understanding, Samuel is instructed by Eli to say, "Speak Lord for your
servant is listening."

There is a big difference betweenhearingandlistening. God is refining the prophetic ear and the
prophetic movement. He is calling His prophets and His people to come into a
place of rest in His presence in the light of revelation. From that place the
voice of God will speak. Not only will His voice be heard, but it will be
listened to and comprehended. A new clarity of hearing and perceiving God's
voice is coming. It will not be by self-effort or striving; it will be from
resting in His presence. Not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of the
Lord.

3.New
language will be given by God to properly and clearly communicate truths God is
highlighting and speaking. For example, the term
"soaking" was not used until the outpouring of God's Spirit in the
90s. This term helped explain the concept of being filled with God's presence.
New language will be given by the Spirit to more deeply and clearly understand
truths God is bringing forth of spiritual realities.

4.God
is giving the blueprints for the new wineskin He is forming. InJoshua 3:3-6, the people were to follow the
ark into a way they have never gone before. As we follow the moving of the
presence of God, He will lead us by His Spirit into places we have never gone
before. Thewalk of sanctificationwill be vital in preparation for the
wonders God will do. God is saying tobe ready to pull the tent pegs up. When
the cloud of His presence moves we need to move with Him. We have to be willing
to fold up old structures and ways of doing things in order to stay current and
fresh with God. God's marching orders will be given. There will benew
alignmentsandrelational structuresto
facilitate the move of God.

5.We
willnotcontinue to do things the same way. The cloud of God
is moving and with that our activities will shift. Our focuses will shift. Some
old structures will have to adapt and morph with the new way God is moving.
There will be fresh Spirit-led activity. God doesn't want us to be busy. He wants
us to be fruitful. Forms, structures and even activities we have done in the
past may shift as God moves in new ways. Be prepared to let go of some things
and to embrace and step into some new things you haven't done before. It will
be vital to go where the Spirit is breathing. Don't hold onto something God
isn't breathing on any longer. Be fruitful by moving and being led by the
Spirit.

6.God
will be highlighting and deepening within His people an understanding of the
true identity of the Believer. Revelation of how to live out of
union with God will come forth. We will understand our oneness with God and
live out of our inner spirit man. For those who are one with God are one spirit
with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17,19).

7. God is going to bring revelation
into foundational, spiritual truths. Things we thought we knew
and understood, God is going to have us look again and He is going to give us
deeper revelation and understanding into things we thought we knew for years.
Look back upon foundational truths, and new light and revelation will be shone
upon them bringing the manifestation of true spiritual realities.

8.The
understanding of spiritual warfare is shifting. We are moving
from "warfare" breakthrough to a "decreeing and
establishing" breakthrough. This will occur with a deeper revelation of
who and where we are. Rather than fighting into the second heaven from being
under, we will rule and reign from the third Heaven being over. I understand
that we wrestle not with flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), and that even Jesus experienced
personal warfare when He was tempted by the devil and overcame by the spoken
Word of God. This warfare will not be fought toobtain
victory, but will be fought from aplace
of victory.

Christians will live from a third Heaven reality, understanding how to
establish on earth as it is in Heaven. A new perspective, a new revelation and
with it a new manifestation of Kingdom authority will be released. God is
bringing people into a new level of spiritual authority.Ephesians 2:5-6are key Scriptures. The Church will
shift from an Old Testament model of spiritual warfare (Daniel 10:13) into a New Testament revelation
ofestablishing what has already been won(Colossians 2:15).

9.This
is the season of the fulfillment of dreams. Many are being
brought from a time where the word of the Lord tested them. The second dream to
Joseph was highlighted to me inGenesis 37:9-11. In it Joseph sees eleven
stars and the sun and the moon bowing down to him, speaking of his promotion
into a position of authority and influence. Eleven plus two is thirteen, the
number of this year. People are going to step into the manifestation of
unfulfilled dreams. The warfare of the last season is being washed away and a
new heavenly perspective is being granted. Just as Joseph's betrayal and trial
maneuvered him into his assignment and destiny, so will the trials and testings
in our lives propel us into our destinies. Key Scriptures areGenesis 37:9,Genesis 45:5-8,Psalm 105:17-24.

10.God
is delivering people from burdens. But it's not just the
removal of burdens. AsPsalm 81:6-7says,
He will remove our shoulder from the burden and bring deliverance. This is
different than the burden being removed from us. It's us being removed from
under the burden. Get ready for divine shifting that will maneuver you out from
underneath burdens into a place of deliverance. In other words, situations or
people may stay the same, but you will be maneuvered out from underneath them.
It's a season of deliverance for those who call on the name of the Lord.

Psalm 105:37-44show 10 promises accompanying this
deliverance. These include financial provision, divine health, fear of the Lord
on the enemy, the covering of His presence, light in the darkness, food, dry
places refreshed, joy, lands and nations, and reaping where you haven't
labored. Lay hold of these promises for you, your family, church, ministry and
business.

11.There
is a generational convergence taking place. It's a season for
new, young leaders to be mentored and raised up. Generations are converging
together and will function together in relationship for the purpose of
multiplication. Generational wells and new wells will open together. Fathers
and mothers will take their place and sons and daughters will come into their
place. Those that have not been fathers will now step into a fathering role.Genesis 26:18-24are key Scriptures for this.

12.I
saw a vision of an open door.This is the year of the open door.
As we run through it we will come intodivine
acceleration. New favor, new opportunities and new advancements.
Key Scriptures are Revelations 3:7-13. God will keep us from the hour of trial
coming upon the whole earth. It's time to hold fast what you have so no one
robs you of your crown. Have patient endurance. The name of God will be upon
us.

13.I
saw a vision of the Lord blowing upon a flickering flame.
Usually when someone blows on a candle the flame goes out. But as God breathed
upon the flame within us it got brighter and hotter.It
will be a season of renewing our first love for God(Revelation 2:2-7). God is bringing both an
encouragement and warning that if our works are not done from the place of first
love, the candlestick can be removed. Ministry work must be done from the place
of first love for Jesus. God is calling people back to the simplicity of
worship and living a life in His presence. This will also bring deeper
consecration, holiness and divine fire as a result. A key verse isMatthew 12:20,A smoldering
wick He will not snuff out.

I encourage you to pray over these 13 prophetic insights and decrees. Meditate
on them and apply them to your lives as the Holy Spirit leads you.Matt SorgerMatt Sorger MinistriesEmail:info@mattsorger.com

Each year, as we have since 1999,
the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders meets before the New Year to pray and
seek the Lord for a word. This is a compilation of what was sensed during this
year’s gathering. It should always be noted that the ACPE believes that the
Lord speaks more in seasons, as opposed to our calendar years, and in the past
few years we have observed that the trend of some of the prophetic words have
been continuing for several years and intensifying.

It is also important to note that
intercession can diminish the severity of some of the words that speak of
potential judgment – and in some cases may avert them all together. In any
case, all prophecies should be bathed in intercession, both the ones that speak
of harvest and blessing, as well as the ones with the admonitions attached to
them.

As prophets, it is always wise to
go back and look at the words we have given in the past. We did this for the
years 2011-12. Of course, let us reiterate, timing of the words should be
understood more as a season than a calendar year. The words given are not fate
or karma but can be changed subject to how God's people respond.

2011: The Year of the
Perfect Storm

In 2011, we prophesied the perfect
storms. We have certainly had those. The word was given of greater earthquakes,
floods, and severe weather patterns of all kinds.
These all happened – in February, a winter storm of historic proportions,
according to the National Weather Service; a catastrophic tornado outbreak in
April; hurricane Irene in August, the sixth costliest storm in U.S.
history at $16 billion.

2012: The Year of
Shakings

In looking at the word given for
2012, we saw that it was not only incredibly accurate, but still includes the
season we are moving into with more shakings to come. We saw an intensifying of
nature responding to our sin. The year broke U.S.
heat records, bringing drought and the U.S.
government declared it the second-worst in U.S. history for “extreme” weather
such as hurricanes, droughts or floods, according to CNN. CNN also reported
that hurricane Sandy caused an estimated $80
billion in damage to New York and New Jersey alone. For
this reason, we are going to attach it to this Word of the Lord for 2013.

2013: Watch and Prepare/The Year
of Contrasts

2013 and the number thirteen
typifies the twelve apostles and Jesus, thus representing completeness.
Therefore we know there are going to be new team entities to accomplish great
things for the Body of Christ in this coming year. We must learn to communicate
and value relational unity stronger than ever before, as there are some
blessings, crises, and challenges that can only be fully navigated through deep
spiritual unity, more than in other seasons of time.

The ACPE felt this coming year
would be one of great contrasts and polarity. In a sense, we are entering a new
era. Things cannot be done in the same way they have in the past season.

The New Era – A “But
Now” Season

“And he said to them, ‘When I sent
you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?’ So they
said, ‘Nothing.’ Then he said to them, ‘But now, he who has a money bag,
let him take it, and likewise, a knapsack, and he who has no sword, let him
sell his possessions and buy one.’” (Luke 22:35-36)

Here is a passage the Lord showed
us as a prophetic picture of the contrasts coming that will show the difference
between those who have the blessing of the Lord upon them in the midst of a
dark season.

Contrast Between Light
and Dark

Arise; shine, for your light has
come! And the glory of The Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness
shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise
over you, and his glory will be seen upon you. Then you shall see and become
radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea
shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. The
multitudes of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and
Ephah; all those from Sheba
shall come; They shall bring gold and incense, And they shall proclaim the
praises of the Lord. (Is. 60:1-2, 5-6)

In contrast to the season of glory for those who prepare and hear, it will be a
season of darkness or, as some translations say, “gloom” for those unprepared.
The good news is that we are not created for darkness and gloom, but for glory!
In this passage, the camels brought wealth in caravans. So for us as believers,
this means the camels, or their modern-day equivalents, are coming with provision!

This will also be connected with
the transference of wealth on international levels. For those who watch and
listen, they will hear the voice of the Lord for huge financial blessings. The
Joseph generation is going to emerge in this season as never before.

Hear and Prepare

One prophet had a vision of a
tuning fork being struck by the Lord and put to our ear. The Lord spoke to us
that He is going to “fine-tune” our hearing to know how to prosper. This is not
a time for spiritual laziness but for a disciplined spiritual life.

We see that for those who watch
and prepare, the glory of the Lord is going to be seen on you by all. You will
shine like you have never shone. Those who are like the sons of Issachar
will be blessed in this time in contrast to those who are dull of hearing. So,
those who have watched and prepared will be blessed.

Preparedness should also take
place on the institutional level as well. It was clear to us that the word we
had given in 2012 about crisis preparedness was even more relevant now than
before. We are calling on individuals, churches and communities to become
disaster-prepared. The shakings are going to continue and increase, and those
who prepare will become a refuge for others, resulting in evangelism
opportunities as the mental strongholds of those who believed the church to be
uncaring are torn down.

Matthew 25 is an important passage
for us this coming season.

Then the kingdom of heaven shall
be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took
their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels
with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and
slept.

And at midnight a cry was heard:
‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins
arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some
of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No,
lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who
sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came,
and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was
shut.

Afterward the other virgins came
also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I
say to you, I do not know you.’

Watch therefore, for you know
neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. (Matthew
25:1-13)

How to prepare:

Keep your lamps full. Stay in the
word; be full of the power of the Holy Spirit.

Live
a life-style of worship.

Renew
your study about having confidence in and faith toward God.

Crisis
preparedness. This needs to be done on both a personal level as well as at
church and community levels.

Re-evaluate
how you are handling your finances. Ask God what to buy and sell.

Seek
God for the "new wine" structures that will help you to be
flexible in this new season.

Do
not react out of fear, but rather respond out of faith. Don’t forget, you
belong to a kingdom that can’t be shaken.

Watch and Obey

A renewed and sharpened
sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit is a must in this season. When God
tells you to not go into a place, don’t. Obey the Holy Spirit’s cautions
without being paranoid. Buy when the Lord tells you to, and don’t when you
should not spend. This is a time to move in faith and not fear. God still has
dreams to dream through you, and it is critical that you keep moving forward
with the vision God has placed into your heart and not become stagnant.

Instability-The New
Reality

In this new era, we could say that
instability will be our new reality. However, those who listen to the Lord's
guidance will navigate this season and be successful. Some major organizations
will go bankrupt such as casualty insurance companies. The bankruptcies of
American cities will increase and there will be an increasing inability to
provide adequate expected services such as fire and police. Much of this will be
the result of a path established by policies of former governmental
administrations, but the blame will be placed on the current ones. Resolving
these problems will be greatly hindered by finger-pointing and animosity,
manifesting in heightened racial and socio-economic tensions.

Against this backdrop will be
communities that will have displayed the ability to foresee and understand
these times and seasons, and who will have established infrastructure at the
community level that does not have to rely on outside resources. Apostolic and
prophetic church leadership with a “Joseph anointing” will be instrumental in
preparing not only their local churches, but their greater communities, for the
coming times of volatility.

Goshens, Sheep and
Goats

It will be evident in the coming
days, as events unfold, that there are some who have the blessing of God and
those who do not. This was likened to us as those being what we might call
"sheep or goat" states, regions, cities and even people. The sheep
states, those who have followed the word of God concerning the rights of the
unborn child, biblical definition of marriage, helping to eliminate systemic
poverty and fighting against injustice such as human trafficking, will be
blessed. They will stand in sharp contrast to those who do not. We felt
strongly that some people as well as geographic regions would become
typologically “Goshens”, where others would flee to in the midst of
instability. Migrations of people out of places which do not have leadership following
biblical principles will start to take place.

United States
versus other nations

One year ago, we gave the word
that if the United States
did not make a major shift toward reformation in 2012, our measure of greatness
would continue to decline. That shift did not occur. The United States will continue to decline while
other nations such as China,
India, Indonesia, Korea, and others will rise.

Economies

As a result of following a path
turning away from God, the nation is suffering.
We prophesied "no more business as usual” in January of 2008 before the
September meltdown of that year. We could say that the stone from Daniel 2 has
been thrown at the feet of the economies of the world..Some believe this to be
the Babylonian structures. Therefore the structures of the whole world have
been weakened in some respects.

Daniel 2:35 speaks of a stone
striking the foot of a statue that has mixture. God is going to shake corrupt
economic systems. The old systems that have been held in place through corrupt
leaders are going to shake as well. Many who have prayed for their nations will
see a major governmental change that will put them on a path of awakening and
blessing.

Believers should ask God for the
timing when they need to buy land and businesses, and make their influence
known, even under duress. Man-made structures are going to continue to have
great stress and pressure. Kingdom-minded business leaders are going to be
especially anointed in this season. Both Esthers and Daniels will arise in this
day to influence economic systems and nations.

An admonition came forth not to
get stuck in old wineskins even in the area of your personal finances in the
coming days or you will miss your opportunities when they come along from God.

A New Move of the Holy
Spirit

On the positive, we are going to
see the rise of new revivalists, many who have been as yet unseen, but will
burst upon the scene with great power and authority. The world will be
astounded as they come from seemingly nowhere to a great visibility due to the
way in which the power and authority of God is manifested through them.

Beware of Deception

Be especially vigilant against
deception trying to enter into the church in this season, which will try and
shut down these new moves of God.

Chicago, Illinois

The inner cities and urban areas
are going to be touched by this new wave of power evangelism. Some of the
darkest areas, such as the inner city of Chicago,
are going to see a dramatic intervention from the Spirit of the Living God.

New Alignments

2013 will be a year in which many
things in the lives of believers will come into alignment. The Lord’s focus for
the church will be coming into the place where she can be a voice to the
nation. Nehemiah 13 is a picture of this. God used him to bring into alignment
both God’s people and the government. With these new alignments must come a
re-assessment of the things God requires of you in this new season.

Prayer and Spiritual
Warfare

There will be a resurgence of
teaching on both prayer and spiritual warfare, and God’s people will once again
war in intercession. A whole new army of prayer warriors will be trained.

Uncompromised
Leadership

Pastors will arise with the
anointing of a William Wilberforce and fight against injustice. There will be
new movements of righteousness and justice. An awakening both to holiness and
justice will sweep the nations. Fighting human trafficking will be a special
focus of the church; especially among the youth.

“Daniel prophets” will arise out
of this movement who stand unafraid. Reformers will arise in governmental
positions. Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, Arizona,
and Alabama
will begin to awaken.

Prophets

The prophets of God must not be
intimidated by the fire-storm that will come against them in the coming days.
There is a hidden church even among influential world leaders who are like the
“Obadiahs,” but the prophets are about to be revealed in great power and
authority if they do not back down in this season of persecution.

There has been a culture of death
that has reigned through abortion, but God is raising up young fire-brands
whose voices will not be silenced until this evil is eradicated in nation after
nation. The Spirit of Elijah will manifest in a glorious way upon these young
voices who will speak up for the unborn.

Worship will be a major key in
this movement as God will bring a world-wide emphasis on the restoration of the
tabernacle of David, as prophesied in Acts 15:16. Little children will worship
and prophesy as well.

Weather Related Crises

We have not seen the end of the
weather-related crises and weather patterns. One ACPE leader sensed that
organizations like FEMA would become virtually bankrupt as the earth produces
violent shakings and storms that are beyond its resource levels.

Already, since the ACPE meeting in
early December, Congress has already had to rush $9.7 billion in aid to FEMA
due to flood insurance claims from the October hurricane Sandy. This is borrowed money from the
Treasury, which increases the national deficit, and another $51 billion has
been requested. Intensifying natural disasters will further stress the
government’s ability to assist in such calamities.

OTHER NATIONS:

Israel

In the midst of the pressure of
the Middle East de-stabilizing, Israel
will experience a move of the Holy Spirit. Congregations will come into unity
on a level not yet seen.
Special prayer is needed for peace in the Middle East,
and there is an admonition that the rest of the world should not forget them.
Pray for the protection of the borders of Israel.

Latin America

Latin
America will begin to shake off its shackles of extreme leftism. There
are leaders waiting in the wings who are the Josephs and Daniels of new
governmental structures, and they will be reformers.

Vietnam

Vietnam will
begin to emerge as an economic power, seemingly overnight. Many will start to
build factories there, including business leaders from main-land China.

Europe and Euro

It was prophesied that the Euro
would fragment. This will lead to the eventual re-structuring of Europe in some sense. The time period for this to take
place was not shown to us.

Europe

Europe will
experience a move of God as there is a hunger in the soul of God’s people
there, and top leaders will begin to say that humanism and socialism did not
work.

Austria

Austria will be a
key to this move of God, and the sound of music will once again resonate around
the world as new worship songs come from this nation.

Campuses

Campuses in the U.S., Britain,
France, and Romania
will flame with revival and reformation. New youth leaders’ movements will
arise that will connect the new generation.

Ring of Fire Nations

The ring of fire nations will burn
for God. New missions movements will be launched. The unreached peoples will be
reached, and there will be an escalation of missionaries answering the call.

Africa

Africa will
thrive! Nation after nation will find its leaders dedicating their nations to
the Lord Jesus Christ. The spirit of poverty is beginning to be broken off this
continent. Cultural transformations will take place. Look to the middle of the
continent, for there will be a fire of the Holy Spirit that will begin there
and spread to the rest of the world.

Arabic World

Nations will align with nations in
surprising ways as old alignments manifest themselves once again. The Arabic
world is going to clash with itself in unprecedented measures. Even formerly
stable regions, such as Saudi
Arabia, will start to de-stabilize.’

Egypt

Egypt is in its
Isaiah 19 shaking moment, but in the midst of the shaking, one of the greatest
prayer armies in the world will mobilize with great unity.

India

This is India’s time to shine! Prayer will
fill this nation from the north to the south, to the east and the west.

Japan

Japan will
experience a move of God that begins with their youth.

Korea

Prepare the missionaries for North Korea.
Healing will begin from North to South. Many Korean business leaders will be
sent even to Wall Street.

China

It probably goes without needing
to be said, but China
will continue its advance to becoming a world-economic power. This nation needs
our special and earnest prayer.

Iran, Syria,
and the Persecuted Church

There will be a shift in
leadership in many Middle Eastern nations. Those who have been in favor will
fall out of favor almost overnight. A call to pray for the persecuted church
came forth from the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants to bring a great harvest to
Syrians in particular in this season.

God's miracle working power will
manifest in Iran.
The Lord did not speak details to us beyond that at this time.

2012 was the Year of “Divine
Alignment.” God was positioning you for greatness, aligning you so
you could be in the center of His will, that you might have the fullness of His
Blessing. 2012 was a year of “Internal Working.”

2013 is the “Year of Action,” it is
a year of “External Working,” Stepping Out, Breaking on through, the Year to
“Get out of the Boat.” The Holy Spirit spoke to me of 2013 using Matthew
14:22-36.

1. Divine Assignments to Churches,
Ministries and Individuals Mt.14:22. Jesus told His disciples to get in the
boat and cross over to the other side. It is “Time to Cross Over,”
Make a Move. In simple Obedience will come Power. This is a Year of
Doing, Launching Out. If you snooze you lose. God will speak much
louder and clearer in 2013 as He spoke to Churches in the Book of Revelation,
“Conditional Promises and Rewards.” The Prophetic will be Amped up to challenge
many with the urgency of the Hour. Remember that Jesus is Praying
for you to succeed. Verse 23

2. Look Beyond the Storm-
Financial, Political and Personal storms will blow. Verse 24 Those who
Break Through will be those who know they are not subject to circumstances, but
subject to the Word of God, that says, “despite the storm you will cross over
to the other side.” Look Beyond the Storm to the Destination, and even though
the enemy will try to hinder you, Abba is greater, Abba is for you. Romans
8:35-37

3. Importance of prayer, A Mighty
Move of Holy Spirit is coming in 2013. Verse 25-27 The Disciples were
“standing their watch” in the storm. Every Major Move of God in Church History
was Birthed and Bathed in Prayer, from Acts Chapter 2 all the way to the 1906 Azusa St.
Revival. Those that were Praying and Waiting were the First to enter into the
Move of God; As those that were watching were the First to see Jesus walking on
the water. Churches and Ministries and Believers will Amp up their
Prayer Life, and Hunger for a Move of the Holy Spirit in Power.

4. The Power of the “Spoken Word
and Declarations” will continue into 2013. Verse28,29 The Disciples
were “Divinely Aligned” because they obeyed Jesus and were in the Boat Crossing
Over to the other side. There is a connection between Divine Align and
Authority; many will come deeper into that Revelation in 2013. Peter made a
Declaration and walked on water. Many will be amazed at the Power of the spoken
word from their own lips, and will see miracles and dreams come true. Nothing
happens until you open your mouth and speak and declare.

5. Test the waters. Peter made a
declaration and walked on water, Elisha made a declaration and walked through
water, Mary made a declaration and water turned into wine. Sweet! Job 22:27,28

6. Time to get out of the Boat-
Make a Move- even though it is stormy Verse 29 Peter saw his moment to
Walk on Water. There is a Now Moment waiting for you in 2013 to “Make a Move.”
Many will experience the supernatural power of God and His Love as they get out
of the boat. Some will get out of the Boat of Apathy, Victimization,
Fear, Doubt and Failure and come in to Confidence, Promotion and Increase.

7. There will be a Heightening of
Spiritual Activity in 2013 Verse 30 What is going on in the “Unseen Realm” will
be huge in 2013. I saw much spiritual activity of darkness and Light. Many
believers will have a greater sense and discernment and awareness of this
realm. Part of the purpose of this is so you don’t allow the devil to “steal
your blessing.” Many seeds or Words sown will quickly turn into harvest in
2013. The devil will try to steal those seeds through fear, intimidation doubt
and deception. Read Luke 8:5,11,12. The Holy Spirit and the Angels
of the Lord will warn you and intervene on your behalf so you will experience
Victory.

8. Time to get out of the boat
in 2013, no worries Jesus will save you and you will walk together and cross
over to the other side. Verses 30-34 Learning to walk on water is much like a
baby first learning to walk. You may stumble a few times, but know that Jesus
is there to pick you up as you continue on your Journey of faith.

Heavenly Father, show yourself
strong on behalf of all those who move through 2013 with Great expectancy that
2013 will be one of the best years of their lives. I declare over
each one the Power of Shalom and that Many Dreams will come true for each one
in 2013 as they Get out of the Boat. Miracles will happen for each one.
